“To whom much has been given, much will be required” Luke 12:48

My name is Jennifer Hopper and I have the privilege of teaching the Enrichment program which is designed to teach and challenge the population of students who are identified as gifted.

Our program which addresses the needs of grades 1 – 8 is structured as a “Pull-out” program of both acceleration and enrichment. Gifted children are pulled from their regular classroom, one day a week, from 12:45 till 3:00 to participate in mini studies. These studies require increased depth and accelerated work. The students complete their studies using a contractual agreement which include expectations for: Leadership, presentation, research, technology and writing. Studies have shown that gifted learners must be given stimulating educational experiences appropriate to their level of ability if they are to realize their potential.

At ICS, we believe that the environment should not only be student-centered but also Christ- centered. Jesus tells us in Luke’s gospel: “Much will be required of everyone who has been given much and even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.” 

Our group of gifted students has been blessed with much and we at ICS are simply giving each the opportunity to discover and experiment the talents God has given them through a variety of cognitive skills so they may serve Jesus better.

If you have any questions about Enrichment, please feel free to contact me or come by and see what all the excitement is about.
